DJ Bear Cole
Experience Makes A Difference
I have worked as a Club & Event DJ and Producer For Decades
Hello I am DJ Bear Cole. I have experience as a resident Dj spinning at 2,550+ capacity night clubs, and extensive event experience. As an entertainer I have always been known as a crowd reader with an amazingly deep knowledge of multiple genres and generations of music. I can chill out a lounge and create atmosphere, or create killer energy to pack a dance floor for hours. I am best known for mixing diverse genres and time frames of music into one cohesive dance floor rocking set.
I consider myself a Record Selector, Open Format DJ, or what I like to call a Shuffle Play DJ. This means I play like someone’s record collection, iTunes, or Spotify would if you put it on shuffle. A mix of multiple genres, tastes, artists, and styles. Deep and spanning musical knowledge. You can checkout my mixes or catch a livestream to get a better idea.
I also produce my own music for a boutique label I run called 1st Drop Music. My music is just as diverse as my DJ sets, but always based in dance music.

DJ Bear Cole started out his career as a DJ and Musician as a fanatical music fan. He has never played or made music for fame or stacks of money. Bear loves the ability of a DJ / Producer to make people happy for a span of time. Maybe they had a bad day at work, went through a tragedy recently, or just came out to a Club, Bar, or Wedding to have some fun and blow off some steam. Bear’s favorite part of his job is that he gets to use music to get them to forget about their stress and problems for a little while, and just enjoy dancing and life. Music is one of the key elements of true Celebration.
I Make Events Successful
Growing up in The Grand Canyon National Park influenced Bear in many ways. It gave him a very unique world view, but also a unique vision of music and sound. How is this? By putting him in touch with the music and ceremonies of multiple Native American tribes, and visitors from every corner of the globe on a daily basis.
Bear Cole has over 2 decades of experience as a Professional DJ, producer, and musician. This means he has toured, held residencies, produced, and worked Weddings, School Functions, and Corporate Events. He has experience as an Audio Engineer, Producer, and DJ.
I don’t consider myself a Mobile DJ. As a matter of fact I don’t consider myself to be a DJ at all. I am a Professional Record Selector with a deep understanding and passion for music, and an understanding of how to make some of the most important events in people’s lives successful and full of great memories.
I Am A Leader
Whether it is leading a team of employees as a Team Lead, Supervisor, Manager, or even a group of hikers as a guide, I am a leader. I don’t just say that either. I have years of experience and training in Leadership strategies and fundamentals.This includes training I received as a member and recipient of a Full Ride Academic and Leadership Scholarship as part of the Arizona State University Leardership Scholarship Program. I have held numerous positions at different companies in the role of Management and Leadership. I am humbled and motivated when I know the success of others depends on me.
I currently manage a team of DJs, Photographers, and Event Professionals as the Wedding & Events Manager and Head DJ for Peaks Pro Event Services. I am not the type of guy who just stands behind the decks and pushes play. I expect more from every event or company I am a part of.
